Louisiana fugitive arrested in Los Angeles

Los Angeles police have arrested a convict who escaped from a women's prison in Louisiana where she was serving time for manslaughter.

A Police Department statement says officers spotted 33-year-old Keana Barnes on a street Monday evening, recognizing her from a wanted flier. She was peacefully arrested and remains jailed without bail.

Barnes broke a dorm window and scaled several fences on Jan. 1 to escape from the Louisiana Correctional Institute for Women in St. Gabriel.

Authorities say she was serving a 25-year sentence for killing two men in 2002 and 2003.

She was on the U.S. Marshals Service list of its 15 most wanted fugitives. Police say she traveled to several U.S. cities and Mexico but arrived in LA less than 24 hours before her arrest.
